I take it that the Deputy is referring to the plans for staff and sites in the context of the new children's hospital project. The new hospital, when built, will bring together the three existing Dublin paediatric hospitals (Our Lady's Children’s Hospital Crumlin, Children's University Hospital Temple Street and the paediatric service at Tallaght Hospital, formerly the National Children’s Hospital) as one entity. All services at the three existing children's hospitals in Dublin, and accordingly staff, will transfer to the new hospital (and to the proposed Ambulatory and Urgent Care Centre(s) when built). In regard to the existing facilities and the sites on which they are located, no decisions have yet been made in relation to these.
